Foundation Report Browser - Changing the Report Browser from Foundation Project Manager has no effect on the implementation reports

Description

General Description:I would like to use the text editor used to view reports generated by the Foundation implementation tools; however, when I change my preferences from Foundation Project Manager, there is no effect on the browser that I use to view implementation reports.

Solution

Please note that two different browsers are associated with the Foundation tools:

1. The first is used for browsing the reports from the Design Entry tools (e.g., the Synthesis log file).2. The second is used for browsing reports generated by the implementation (back-end/place and route) tools (e.g., the PAR report).

You can change your preferences in the first browser by using following these steps in the Foundation Project Manager:File -> Preferences -> Configuration -> Text Editor.
